E13) Can a DOS virus survive and spread on an OS/2 system using the
     HPFS file system?

Yes, both file-infecting and boot sector viruses can infect HPFS
partitions.  File-infecting viruses function normally and can activate
and do their dirty deeds, and boot sector viruses can prevent OS/2
from booting if the primary bootable partition is infected.  Viruses
that try to directly address disk sectors cannot function because OS/2
prevents this activity.
